FAS 157-4—Determining
Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That
Are Not Orderly, which provides guidance on how to determine the
fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS 157 in the current
economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value
measurement remains the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability at the measurement
date.

FAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2—Recognition and Presentation

requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt
securities and significantly changes the existing impairment model for
such securities. It also modifies the presentation of other-than-temporary
impairment losses and increases the frequency of and expands already
required disclosures about other-than-temporary impairment for debt and
equity securities.

·

FSP
FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1—Interim Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments, which requires disclosures of the
fair value of financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 in
interim financial statements, adding to the current requirement to make
those disclosures in annual financial statements. The staff position also
requires that companies disclose the method or methods and significant
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and a
discussion of changes, if any, in the method or methods and significant
assumptions during the period.

Divestitures:
In November 2008, we completed the divestiture of FMS, which was part of
our former PSSI segment. In February 2009, we sold our UI
operations, also part of our former PSSI segment. These sales
completed the last of our seven planned divestitures. All
planned divestitures are now
completed.
|
·
|
Management: Ronald
W. Johnston joined us in April, 2008 as Chief Financial
Officer. In July, 2008, Keith S. Kendrick assumed the role of
Senior Vice President, Strategic Marketing. Our new Chief
Operating Officer, Nina K. Vellayan began her assignment in October,
2008. During December and January, management reviewed our
expense levels, undertook cost containment programs in light of the
current economic environment, and streamlined the senior management team
accordingly.
|
·
|
Marketing: As
a part of the strategic review, we started an ongoing upgrade of our
strategic information systems to allow us to establish direct
relationships with end-users of our services to
|
|
grow
transactions across verticals and deepen the strength of the primary
brand, Official Payments. We are launching programs to increase
customer adoption and utilization through expanded cross-selling
capabilities and enhanced My Account
functionality. My Account is a
personal registration function offered through our subsidiary, Official
Payments Corporation. As our new consolidated platform becomes available,
we will launch new e-commerce products and payment services for partners
and direct biller clients including additional payment channels such as
mobile, walk-up payment, and
kiosks.
|
·
|
Build
share: We have increased resources and marketing programs
directed at our fastest growing verticals: Higher Education and
Utilities. In January 2009 we completed the acquisition of
ChoicePay, a leading ePayments solution provider. We believe
the acquisition of ChoicePay will enhance our technology platform and
provide us with a significant expansion of our utilities
vertical.
|
·
|
Platform
Consolidation: In the first fiscal quarter of 2009 we began an
extensive analysis of our operating platforms and began a consolidation of
our processing platforms and infrastructure to improve efficiency and
reduce costs while providing the capacity for future
growth. Based on our current plan, we expect to complete the
consolidation of our current EPS technology platforms in early calendar
year 2010. To date, we have completed the consolidation of some
of our EPS operations, facilities, departments and positions in San Ramon,
California with our operations in Auburn, Alabama. We expect
this operations consolidation to increase efficiencies, reduce costs,
reduce overhead, and eliminate duplicative operations and
functions.
